Genesis 23
1 Sarah lived one hundred twenty-seven years. This was the length of Sarah’s life.
Saratu ta yi shekara ɗari da ashirin da bakwai a duniya.
2 Sarah died in Kiriath Arba (also called Hebron), in the land of Canaan. Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Ta rasu a Kiriyat Arba (wato, Hebron) a ƙasar Kan’ana, Ibrahim kuwa ya tafi ya yi makokin Saratu, yana kuka saboda ita.
3 Abraham rose up from before his dead and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
Sai Ibrahim ya tashi daga gefen matarsa da ta mutu, ya yi magana da Hittiyawa. Ya ce,
4 “I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”
“Ni baƙo ne, kuma baƙo a cikinku. Ku sayar mini da wani wuri yă zama wurin binnewa a nan, domin in binne mataccena.”
5 The children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Hittiyawa suka ce wa Ibrahim,
6 “Hear us, my lord. You are a prince of God among us. Bury your dead in the best of our tombs. None of us will withhold from you his tomb. Bury your dead.”
“Ranka yă daɗe, ka saurare mu. Kai babban yerima ne a cikinmu. Ka binne mataccenka a kabari mafi kyau na kaburburanmu. Babu waninmu da zai hana ka kabarinsa don binne mataccenka.”
7 Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, to the children of Heth.
Sai Ibrahim ya tashi ya rusuna a gaban mutanen ƙasar, wato, Hittiyawan.
8 He talked with them, saying, “If you agree that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
Ya ce musu, “In kuna so in binne mataccena, sai ku ji ni, ku roƙi Efron ɗan Zohar a madadina
9 that he may sell me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field. For the full price let him sell it to me among you as a possession for a burial place.”
domin yă sayar mini da kogon Makfela, wanda yake nasa, wannan da yake a ƙarshen filinsa. Ku ce masa yă sayar mini a cikakken farashi, yă zama mallakata domin makabarta tsakaninku.”
10 Now Ephron was sitting in the middle of the children of Heth. Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Efron mutumin Hitti yana zaune a cikin mutanensa, sai ya amsa wa Ibrahim a kunnuwan dukan Hittiyawa waɗanda suka zo ƙofar birni.
11 “No, my lord, hear me. I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the children of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
Ya ce, “A’a, ranka yă daɗe, ka ji ni, na ba ka filin, na kuma ba ka kogon da yake cikinsa. Na ba ka shi a gaban mutanena. Ka binne mataccenka.”
12 Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Ibrahim ya sāke rusuna a gaban mutanen ƙasar
13 He spoke to Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, “But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
ya ce wa Efron a kunnuwansu, “Ka ji, in ka yarda. Zan biya farashin filin. Ka karɓa daga gare ni don in iya binne mataccena a can.”
14 Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Efron ya ce wa Ibrahim,
15 “My lord, listen to me. What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? Therefore bury your dead.”
“Ka saurare ni, ranka yă daɗe; darajan filin ya kai shekel ɗari huɗu na azurfa, amma mene ne wannan a tsakanina da kai? Ka binne mataccenka.”
16 Abraham listened to Ephron. Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the current merchants’ standard.
Ibrahim ya yarda da sharuɗan Efron, sai ya auna masa farashin da ya faɗa a kunnuwan Hittiyawa, shekel ɗari huɗu na azurfa, bisa ga ma’aunin da’yan kasuwa suke amfani da shi a lokacin.
17 So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all of its borders, were deeded
Ta haka filin Efron a Makfela kusa da Mamre, wato, filin da kogon a cikinsa, da kuma dukan itatuwan da suke cikin iyakoki filin, aka
18 to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
ba wa Ibrahim a matsayin mallakarsa a gaban dukan Hittiyawa waɗanda suka zo ƙofar birnin.
19 After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
Bayan wannan Ibrahim ya binne matarsa Saratu a kogon a filin Makfela kusa da Mamre (wanda yake a Hebron) a ƙasar Kan’ana.
20 The field, and the cave that is in it, were deeded to Abraham by the children of Heth as a possession for a burial place.
Da filin da kuma kogon da yake cikinsa, Hittiyawa suka tabbatar wa Ibrahim a matsayin makabarta.
